Erebus Toa of Darkness Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Holy Exo Toa advancedChro you never cease to amaze me with your mocsThe only thing that really throws me off is the Toa's legs are kinda exposed on the sides. Although I guess there isn't much you can do about that huh? Does the Chest open to allow the Toa to enter and exit?Still this is an amazing moc man. I hope to be on your level one day.

This hooded thing had single handedly killed hundreds of his Rahkshi children with twin gleaming swords. No that was no Toa.... that thing was Death himself....

25K Now! Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hmm ... it's quite brilliant actually, but the upper body seems extremely bulky compared to the legs. Can they hold the weight? Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be on your level one day.Thanks E2.The exposed leg problem is something I should've thought of beforehand, you're right. And yes, the whole suit opens up to allow the pilot to enter and exit. (I explained why I took no photos of that process near the bottom of the MOCpages post.) Can they hold the weight?Quite well, in fact. Edited July 15, 2013 by Chro Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25K Now! Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hm. Is it difficult for the suit to stand, or is it pretty simple? And how does Astray slot in? Do you need to do lots of fiddly things?

Chro Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 It was easy for it to stand, and slightly less so for it to balance in really dynamic poses.Astrav fits in quite easily as well. His legs simply sit on the leg frame and the armor folds over them. The arms attach in a similar manner. The torso fits snugly inside the torso and the top section folds down over him, with an axle that slides into his back to keep him attached.

Unauthorized Autobiography Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Holy. One's just gotta love Exo-suits. Love the way nothing looks out of place. And like the contrast with Astrav's colors. Quote -G u u R a h K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanakalackin Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 This is incredible! The color scheme is consistent, and provides much armoring for Astrav. The canon on the arm is pretty cool too.

Art Vandelay Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 As usual, Chro, this MOC is spectacular! That's why I'm glad you're on the staff for SM.com. Retaining functionality in a MOC this complicated is quite the feat, and I love exo suits. it looks like movement is a bit restricted however. How's the articulation of it?

Chro Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks all.The articulation was pretty good except for the legs, which could bend alright, but didn't support weight well due to the way they connected to the legs.

Hexann Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It does remind me quite a bit of the Exo-Toa....well the idea...not the MOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 The concept was inspired by that, yes. Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinkmeister Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Duuuude. What is this I don't even. It's like someone took the Exo-Toa, and made it better in, like, every possible way. I love how there's so many little details and parts, it makes it look very mechanical, definitely like it was built. I'm thoroughly impressed, I need to check out more of your creations!

There was certainly some inspiration from the Exo-Toa, off of a suggestion by Taipu1.If you want to see more of my MOCs, check the links in my signature.
